These bring with them a certain geography, which might also imply a history.But I don't hesitate to change stuff to make it suit what I want.None of my players has ever been a canon-junkie - so when I'm using published material it's just to make my job easier, it's not to give the group a "Greyhawk" experience or a "Karameikos" experience.At the moment I'm using the map of Karameikos from Night's Dark Terror with the core 4e history - ancient empires, PoL, fall of Nerath etc. - and cosmology. And the PCs are currently in a town that is merged from 3 different sources - Threshold in Night's Dark Terror, Brindonford in the Speaker in Dreams (happily, these two maps are pretty similar, so I'm able to GM from them both simultaneously with minimal mental editing) and Adakmi in Heathen. The backstory of the town and its key NPCs also merges bits and pieces from the 3 settings, plus stuff of my own. (For a name of the town I'm using both Adakmi - its old Dragonborn name - and Threshold - its newer, human, name.)</blockquote>
